Is it possible to use advanced actions to set the value of the question?

Hi - I am trying to develop a course of Captivate 4 and wish I could on slide enter advanced use of actions to check the value of a user variable, and if the variable is equal to x then set the value of the question (correct) 1. Is there a system variable, that I can use to define?

This course is to download a package to an LMS (Moodle) SCORM.

Ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, Captivate is not currently a way to manipulate SCORM score via advanced Actions and the user or System Variables.

So that you could have OnSlideEnter check and set the value of a variable, you don't have a way to use this information to force sending a question slide.

  • How can I add audio to tabs using advanced Actions?

    I used the following tutorials to create a slide tabbed with navigatiion locked in Captivate 5.5 (I use Advanced Actions to activiate the continue button only once you click on all the tabs).

    http://blogs.Adobe.com/Captivate/2011...

    http://forums.Adobe.com/message/40464...

    I have audio intro associated with the slide, which plays on enter. Does anyone know how I can add audio to each tab by using advanced Actions? When I tried this, all audio files played at the same time, above the other.

    I appreciate all help.

    Recently, I blogged about the control of audio objects, maybe that article could help you:

    http://lilybiri.posterous.com/audio-objects-control-them

    Here is another example, where I used a lot of audio attached to all kinds of objects:

    http://lilybiri.posterous.com/playtime-with-audio-and-widgets

    The idea is that you attach audio to an object that can be invisible to the user (I explained I have a special highlight for this purpose style) and you show the object action advanced, which means that when the audio will start playing. You probably also will have to stop audio (to avoid the two clips play together) when the user clicks on another tab, in which case he has not done. So if you have 3 tabs, you have 3 audio objects and with advanced actions always show you an audio object and hide the other 2.

  • using advanced actions to make a button appear at the end of my project - HELP

    I'm working to build a set of advanced actions, which allow a user display the buttons at the end of the test based on the responses of the text entry box. The plan that I've discovered so far is:

    1. on the slide after the TEB, I have a conditional action that uses IF cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored = 1, and THEN assign the Variable 1 to 1 (the variable is set to 0)

    2. at the end of the test, I have an advance action that declares the variable = 1 IF THEN hide button (the button says they did hide the bad action means they did as the correct input) ELSE view button

    I have a total of 23 of these interactions TEB

    Everything works perfectly if each answer is correct

    Everything works perfectly if each answer is wrong

    Arrises them problem when alone or some answers are wrong. When that happens, no buttons appear.

    I built a debug slide and be positive for each Variable, I built received the first interaction.

    so, what could I have done wrong on my process? Any help would be appreciated.

    Always nice to hear from someone who likes my book.

    A thing, you have not made it clear to me yet.  You say that you are running the first action 'at the entrance to the next slide. I guess you mean using the event YOU enter the quiz question slide slide follows?

    Then, you mention that "at the end of the process," you have a blank slide that performs the final conditional action.  I assume that you mean that you use the event YOU enter Slide for the Quiz results slide where your buttons is displayed?  You won't be able to perform actions SHOW/HIDE objects on slides other than the one where the action is executed.

    My personal preference to set the variables on each quiz slide would be to use the event on the success of the quiz slide just to set the variable directly instead of using a decision of conditional action block as you did. If your quiz questions are all together for a moment of success, then just using the action of success WE should have the same result, but it's just more direct and so less inclined to any question (for example if, for some reason, the system cpQuizInfo variable did not work, your event on success should always pulled).

    In theory, your way (using the system variable) should work too, but sometimes if there are several ways to do something and your current path does not work, try them the other way around can get out you of trouble.

    I guess that your final conditional action has something ELSE for each block of decision which SHOWS the button?

    One thing that also that Lilybiri would probably say, that you are trying to rename all your blocks of decision in the last conditional action.  It could be one of the names of your decision blocks is originally a kind of conflict.  I noticed that you have a name of decision block with a punctuation of hash character.  Not a good idea.

  • The application effect Alpha using advanced Actions

    Hi all

    I'll explain what I'm trying to reach the first (I'm using Captivate 5)

    I have a wheel of food which is cut into portions (carbohydrates, proteins, produced slag etc.). Each part is actually a button ("party") which, once clicked evokes a text caption popup with some information with another ("narrow") button that will close the popup text caption.

    When the student clicks on the button 'part' I would also the context in which fade out, then when the user clicks on the button "Close", the context in which fade in the new.

    Using advanced actions, I see that I can apply an effect to all the objects in my background, so I'm trying to change all alphas to 20% when you click on the button 'part', then when you click on the "close" button back to 100% alpha values.

    However it seems that when the effect is applied (after clicking on the button ' Party'), it works on a timeline in which I can't seem to control and after a few seconds the effect returns return of 20% to 100% on its own.

    Is there a way I can apply the effect so that the alpha remains at 20% until I say otherwise?

    Would really appreciate anyones help with this. Thanks in advance

    Rick

    Hello

    Simple Simon here. Instead of futzing about with all the alphas on everything, why not just insert an object to display that covers everything? Set up black as the color and the alpha on that value. Then turn it or disable using advanced Actions.

    See you soon... Rick

  • How to use PL/SQL to create dynamic action to set the value of a selection by another list?

    Hello

    I would like to know how to use PL/SQL to create dynamic action to set the value of a list of selection by another selection list.

    1.PNG

    I wish can create dynamic action to manage the two above the Room select list (: P9_ROOM) and building (: P8_BUILDING).

    When you select "1074" in the bathroom, building highlights like "BRM BLD 5"

    When you select 'Area of the black box' in the room, building must assign the value "7 BLD BRM"

    When the room is Null, building should also be Null.

    I thank you,

    Alice

    I forgot to mention, for the PL/SQL Code, because you are working with items in the selection list, the return values are different from the display on your LOV values, you must instead use the return values.

    Thank you

    Thank you

    Jean Bayard

    Michelle,

    I have good news. I was able to reproduce, locate and bypass your problem.

    The problem is the following:

    works very well in JSF pages, but it does not work in JSF fragments (which are part of a glued TaskFlow, what is included in a page parent as a ) because ADF when executing a miscalculation of the value of of 'for' - attribute when it is part of a region BTF. For example, suppose that the has id = "it1" (as it is in your JSF fragment above) and this TaskFlow defined in included as a with id = "r1" in a parent page. Then the internal ID of the input text field will be 'r1:0:it1', but at runtime, the framework will set the value of 'for' - attribute to the 'r1:it1' (which is wrong) instead of "r1:0:it1" (which is the correct value).

    You can work around this bug by specifying:

    Instead of

    in your code above. In this way the framework will make up the correct value for the 'for' - attribute at run time and will not work correctly. Don't worry the caveat against a non-existent ID in the JDev source code editor.

    You must do this trick only in fragments JSF and you should not do in JSF pages.

    Is it possible to use Dreamweaver with WordPress (has the classes by Joseph Lowery) only uses a test server AWS and not an environment local localhost?

    Yes, I want to talk and EC2 instance and I am able to do Dreamweaver to easily connect using SFTP which I believe is a SSH protocol. See the image below. This method works.

    I currently have a test instance and will finally have an instance of production when the site is finished.

  • Micro-Navigation (using advanced Actions) behaves badly in published project

    I have build in Captivate 9 and must give the user the possibility to jump back to specific "scenes" in a slide.  These scenes have no specific markers - they are just subsections of the lesson on the slide.

    I followed some excellent tips gleaned from Lilybiriblog articles to create my own front and rear buttons, jump on the next breakpoint.

    To achieve this, I created a tip with 9 decisions (one for each scene) Action, and every decision said "If currentFrame is between x and y, go to openingFrame + z..  I used the property to enter the slide to set the openingFrame variable in the slide.  In this way, when the button is engaged (front or back), the lesson goes directly at the beginning or at the end of the current 'scene '.

    Well, I spent a good 2-3 hours previewing the slide and refine the Action advanced to what it worked exactly as you want, and then I wrote...

    To my great disappointment, by clicking on the next button since the beginning of the slide, the lesson jumped right to the end of the slide (which is the action for decision 9 and should only enable if the currentFrame > 2041)

    When I then click on the back button on the end of the slide, it would take me back to frame 2030 (where it should bring back me at the beginning of the slide, by progressive clicks).

    I then tried the preview of the whole project and got the same result.

    It seems that the tip Action works as it should if I get a preview of the slide, but as soon as the other slides are published, all but the last decision of the tip Action are ignored!

    I'm writing this, I give account of a workaround would be to break up the blade in a number of slides-, each holding a scene. This means a lot of extra work and give a very messy result. As much as I plan a number of similar sections of lesson and want to end up with a long list of slides that are actually part of the same section of the lesson.

    The other alternative is to learn Javascript and use it to create the nested IF statement - that sounds like a lot of overhead and puzzle to make something that looks like it was designed to operate within 9 Captivate.

    I hope that logical - you would be very grateful if anyone can shed some light?

    How and when did the variable 'openingframe' gets its value? The event that is used to assign a value to this var?

    The event that triggers this conditional action? You have other interactive objects on the slide to this event? Maybe post a screenshot of the timeline.

    I suspect that this could be done in another way, less complicated. But I need more information. Last jump is more 2063 frames, which means little more than a minute: who is the duration of a slide? Navigation Frame is never very says, that personally I wouldn't use it for these big jumps, but try to split this slide in multiple slides, which would mean you will have more than one frame of departure and you won't have that many. Is - that follow you the action by inserting the two variables 'openingframe' and 'cpInfoCurrentFrame' in a text container?  Just a couple of ideas, because I suspect that the value of "openingframe" is not correct.

  • using advanced actions to determine if the correct keys have been selected

    I use Captivate 5 on Windows 7 to create a quiz that will test the ability of the users to select inappropriate e-mail parts by clicking on them.  So far, I have set up the scene and left buttons to image for each item in the email.  Each sentence, the address line, the subject line, etc it's own image button.  The goal is to create a user by clicking on the item of electronic mail and it highlighted red (selected).  Once the user has highlighted all the elements that they think is inappropriate, it will be then click on the ' send' button (button image), that will calculate if the correct image buttons have been selected.

    Here is an example of the stage with all image buttons:

    11-19-2012 4-12-03 PM.png

    My question is how I would start setting up advanced actions 1) select each button when you click it, and then turn off highlight when clicked again) 2 calculate if the correct buttons are selected when you click on the button send 3) the user to correct or incorrect slide, based on their selections

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    FOR INFO.  The right answer for this mail would be if

    OK, an example of file which seems to work. I created in Captivate 6 but the workflow will be the same in 5.5. Avoided using the new features. I used boxes to click on text fragments. I was wondering if you want to limit the number of fragments which can be clicked (is not in the scenario):

    • Enter by clicking on the parts of text, their labeled CB1_NOK, CB_2OK,... even if it is not so important if she'll give a score or not. I had 3 good.
    • To correct, click boxes, I added a score (5) in the accordion reporting, audited include in Quiz and add to the Total. to bad I did nothing in this accordion; Click on boxes have a break before the break of the button check, I've shortened their duration at 2secs, while check button stops at 2.5secs
    • I put a partially transparent rectangle on each fragment of text that has been set to invisible at the beginning (properties panel), marked their HL1, HL2,...
    • Created a variable user for each area of click with an initial value of 0: v_cb1, v_cb2, v_cb3...
    • Created a conditional action advanced for each box, used two decisions (but Then/Else was also possible), labeled them even as a click box (is possible if the click is first box). Here are the screenshots as an example of the second click box; ATTENTION: the sequence of the first and second decisions is important:

    • The Check button triggers another conditional action, where I check the variable cpQuizInfoPointsscored of system and branch to the appropriate slide. I used a slide "Correct" and "Incorrect":

  • Use advanced Actions show different slide

    Hello

    I am using Captivate 5 and have a problem with the display of an image with a tip action.

    I am trying to create a simple table of contents custom. I can't use integrated OCD because, as far as I know, there is no option to have appear only at the beginning of the project - it is available as long as the project is open. It is a problem for me, since I have limited screen real estate, so I can not have it on the side, and I can't bunk it. Anyway, I digress.

    At the end of each topic, I want the user to return to the table of contents and see an indicator of subjects duly filled in. I added an image which is hidden initially on the TOC next to each topic list. Then, on the question slide, the user presses navigation button, a tip action uses 'show' to make the image on visible table of contents slide and then refers the user to the table of contents. Unfortunately, the image still remains hidden.

    If the image is on the same blade that the tip action, everything works. I can also add a user variable that updates a text caption on the slide table of contents of a fast action on the slide for the topic.

    Is it possible to display an image with a tip of a different slide action?

    I see in one of the posts of Lilybiri (http://lilybiri.posterous.com/playing-hide-and-seek-with-captivate-objects):

    "You can apply action show only to objects that are really on the slide.
    e.g. you put a rectangle on slide 1, the value "Display for the rest of the project." If it is initially hidden, you can show only on slide 1, not on slides 2, 3, etc."

    However, there is a reference to "when using"Display for the rest of the project. I don't know if this limit also applies to my situation, but I suspect it might be the cause of the problem.

    As an alternative, I tried setting a variable that changes when the slide of the subject is visited. A conditional action then shows the image on the table of contents. Unfortunately I do not know how to trigger this action, as it should be something like an action "on the slide open", and I do not know if such a thing exists. In addition, this approach seems too complex.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You are right that advanced Actions will be able to SHOW or HIDE an object on the current slide you are watching.  They have no effect on another slide that is not currently displayed.

    So what you have to do is assign the User Variables for each section of the project that the user has completed and Actions conditional Advanced triggered by the OnSlideEnter of the menu slide event allows to detect if the user has completed a section given by the value of the variable user for this section.

  • Use advanced actions to hide any object of a certain type

    I am building an interaction where learners click an image (button_puzzle1) to reveal a legend (caption_puzzle1). I'm creating a scale by which effect the button_puzzle1 skin button_puzzle1 and watch button_puzzle1a click. Then by clicking on button_puzzle1a will hide again the legend and show button_puzzle1. But there is no way to force the learner the subtitle, before they click on another piece of the puzzle, which opens another legend.

    So when the student clicks on another piece of the puzzle, I need some legend can show to be hidden before she reveals the related legend. For example, if the student clicks on button_puzzle1 to bring up the caption_puzzle1, then click on button_puzzle2, I need caption_puzzle1 to hide before caption_puzzle2 can be demonstrated.

    All the legends to sit on top of the other, so a work around would be to have the 'active' Legend pop up, but it is not a first Front tip action.

    Thank you!

    Hi, you use CP6, right?

    It's my solution (take a look at the Youtube link):

    • All the legends group, will be the label of the Gr_Captions group
    • In each advanced action triggered by a click box, insert the statement 'hide Gr_Captions' before the statement "Captionx Show"
